A bit late, but I finally managed to check out the latest version of Tableau 10. I’ve decided to use the dataset of the deaths by Malaria around the world published within the context of the #makeovermonday week 34.

Edward dissected his paper (written in collaboration with Jeffrey Heer) entitled “Narrative Visualization: Telling Stories with Data“. The paper, and the talk, goes through the design of narrative visualizations, identifying relevant techniques for telling stories with graphics. The slides of the talk can […]

There is a big value in understanding the hyperlink structure of our website as I pointed out in my PhD thesis.
